Windows 10: I have successfully created a contact list in Yahoo and added various names, but one...

Can anyone help me with a Yahoo email problem. One of my contacts will not let itself be added to a particular contact list. All other contacts successfully added. I am using a laptop with Windows 11 if that makes any difference.

Contact names in contact list

I have a list of contacts in my outlook.live account that are listed in numerical order by office number, e.g. “101 Larry” “Smith” is the first and last name for Larry Smith in office 101. This method has always resulted in a perfectly numerically ordered contact list, until recently. Now, when I add Larry to my contact list, Outlook only shows Larry’s email address, no name, no office number.

Any help / suggestions would be so greatly appreciated. I’ve tried using customer support before, not looking forward to that ordeal again.

 

Yahoo Email Contacts List

At work I have a rather large list of contacts, sometimes I have multiple email addresses within one single contact. For example, lets say I have a contact "Bob", within that contact I have L: emailaddress1@techpowerupisawesome.com and L: emailaddress2@techpowerupisawesome.com. When I begin a new email, if I type "Bob", both of these addresses will appear, but I can only select one. I'd like to select both without having to retype Bob to make the list appear again to click the other.

I'm aware you can click the "To:" button to make the list of contacts appear, but you need to scroll down and find your contact, then shift click to select them all. Scrolling around can be troublesome with the amount of contacts I have. I'm not really interested in making groups for various reasons.

So is what I'm trying to do possible or am I asking too much?

 

Yahoo Contact Lists

Still need to know:

You are referring to Contact Lists you accessed at
https://mail.yahoo.com/ with a browser, right?

Or, WRT the other post that's been merged...

Are you trying to recover a contact list (Address Book) from Outlook Express on an XP machine?
